Fuel pressure
A Piper-style fuel pressure gauge: a square black face in a round opening, the scale a short arc above a pivot near the bottom. Its arcs and red lines come from the aircraft profile (an Archer's 0.5 to 8 psi).

Features
- Short-arc scale over a low pivot, FUEL PRESS and PSI on the face
- Green arc and red low / high lines from the aircraft profile
- Numbers every 2, 5 or 10 psi depending on the profile's range (0-10 on a PA-28, 0-25 on others)
- Falls back to 0-10 psi with a 0.5-8 green arc when the profile has no fuel pressure limits
- Brass pivot cap and a glass reflection in a square 2 1/4" case
- A red X when fuel pressure is missing or stale
- Takes the panel's night lighting like the other round analog gauges
Your aircraft: Range, green arc and red lines from the aircraft profile's fuelP limits (PA-28: 0-10 psi, green 0.5-8 with red lines at both; others: 0-25 psi with their own green arcs).

Simulator data
What the Hub reads from the simulator for this instrument, and what the instrument sends back. Names are the simulators' own: MSFS SimVars and events, X-Plane datarefs and commands.
Reads
| Value | MSFS | X-Plane |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel pressure, engine 1 (psi) | GENERAL ENG FUEL PRESSURE:1 (psi) | sim/cockpit2/engine/indicators/fuel_pressure_psi[0] |
Add-on aircraft with their own systems may use other variables; the Hub reads the standard ones.
Changes
The instrument's version counts what its faces share (the case, the mechanism, the data, the sounds); a face's own version counts that face alone.
